It was the biggest migration the country had ever known - more than three million children evacuated from their homes to escape Hitler's bombs.

Indeed, with the moss-green/taupe tweed ITS a strange combination. But this yellow, I like it that HM still wears strong colours... However, I agree with you as well - there is a young stylish princess needed

I love Princess Anne’s boots but her sunglasses spoil the overall look.
The Queen’s clothes were rather unusually coloured: it would have never entered my mind to mix those two colours.
As usual, loved Prince Charles’s kilt. And his watch chain.
